Posted by Paula Carlson on May 12, 2011

Welcome to the Blogging 101 AAM workshop, being held on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 4pm in Minneapolis, MN. This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up a WordPress blog.

Today we will be learning:

  • how to create a blog;
  • what you can control from the Dashboard;
  • the differences between posts and pages, and categories and tags;
  • how to include media with your posts;
  • how to publish your posts;
  • how to change what appears in the sidebars;
  • how to change the appearance of your blog; and
  • how to open your doors to the public by waving a flag at the search engines.
